A Fertile Spot,

Savannah is a fertile spot In which to
plant Pianos and Organs. We owed a
great many the first year we went into
that business, and now they have grown
up and borne hundred told. We are
selling great many instruments in this
city and this section of the country. The
secret of our success in this line Is that
we keep only frst-class instruments,
those that we can conscientiously recon-
mend, and that never go back on us. See
what o list of manufacturers we repre-
sent, not one of them a second-class
concern, but firms OF prominence and
wealth.
The celebrated "Kuabe Pianos,r from
the factories OF Messrs. William hnabe
q Co., Baltimore, Md.
The "kranich d Bach Pianos" from
their factories in New York city.
The "Estey Piano." from their New
York factory.
The Augustus Baus & Co.'s Piano."
from their New York factory, and the
"Estey Organs" from the oompany's
factories at Brattleboro, Vt.
We are prepared 10 sell any Of these
instruments at factory prices, just as
cheap as you can buy them In New York
or anywhere else. We can sell you on as
easy terms as any house in the country,
within measure, will sell you on your
own time and installments. A full five
years guarantee with every instrument
sold. Thirteen pianos now in stock to
select from, and as manv more TO arrive
this week. Whether you buy Of us or not
1t would be suicidal for you to buy any
where until you see what we can do for
you. DAVIS BROS.

THROUGH THE MARKET.
The Game Stalls Empty-What the
Vegetable Growers Say.

The Game Stalls Empty-What the
Vegetable Growers Say.
No game was offered In the market yes
terday. The Georgia game laws went
into effect on Friday, and the stalls which
have been filled during the winter with
wild fowl and game were empty or filed
with something else. In other respects
the market was we'll supplied.
The vegetable stalls did not look as
though quite everything was killed by the
frost. Peas, Florida beans, new potatoes,
the latter aboutthe size OF BIRDS eggs, let
tuce, spinach, radshes and cabbRges were
in abundance. The fish market had an
abundance and variety. Shrmps Were
in quantity. After this week. which
closes the Lenton season, the meat stalls
will he better supplied.
The vegetable growers say that the
frost yesterday morning was heavier
than it has been at any time since the
freezing weather began, Ice formed an
eighth of an inch in thickness. All Of the
early getabies-beans, cucumbers, po-
tatOes and tOmatoes-are killed outright.
The harder vegetables, though seriously
crippled and set back in their growth,
are yet marketable.
The growers are disposed to take as
cheerful a view of the situation as posi-
BILE, and they say that unless there comes
another and harder freeze than any yet
they will be able to supply the local mar
ket, though they will not make much on
their shipments.

ON THE MARCH.
The Salvation Soldiers Make Their
Eirat street Parade.

SIEAJ dEduts
Col. NJ. X. Light, of the Salvation
Army, called on Mayor Lester yesterday
and was granted permission to parade
through the streets. The Colonel sought
the advice of q MORNING NEWS reporter
about fiji line OF March. AS the crusad-
ers say that they are after the non-church
gOers and as a short route was wanted
the Colonel was advised to march down
to Bryan street. past Washington square,
up East Broad. along South Broad TO
Price, thence to Broughton, to Whitaker
and the FOrds' Hail.
Att O'Clock last night a detachment
consisting OF nine men, headed by Col.
Light, started. Every one except the
Colonel had some instrument. He acted
as commanding officer and drum ma or
combined, and walked backward In toe
most approved drum-major fashion. The
band attracted crowd, which followed
quietly. the soldiers did not reach Wash
ington square. but turned up Lincoln
street to Broughton. Somewhere about
Congress and Lincoln q volley Of bad
odOred eggs was fired at the crusaders.
Three splashed against the soldier with
the big horn, 1t WAS said, but one of the
band stated afterwards that no ore
was hit. There WAS much less guying
and jeerInR than was expected. man
named smith, who was pretty full,
thought that the Colonel ought not to
have to perform the duties OF drum-major
and joined in the procession. AS fast as
ne was pushed out OF the way he turned
and took his position again. No special
force WAS used and the crowd guyed
Smith rather more than it did the Saliva
tionists.
Mayor Lester watched q part OF the
parade on Broughton street from car
riage, which followed the limo for a few
blocks for the purpose OF seeing how the
crowd behaved. The meeting at the
Fords' Hall last night was crowded. One
of the sisters stood at the door and held
out her tambourine for contributions.
Anything was accepted from copper to
a silver dollar. The SalvatiOnists call
tnat taking up a collection. They say
that it is difficult to get around through
the audience when 1t is seated. Some OF
the spectators thought it was an admis-
sion fee. This afternoon there will be
another parade ii the programme decided
on last night 10 carried out. The female
members of the post will probably join
in the march to-day, which Is expected to
begin about 2 O'Clock.
